This issue now features "FEAR ITSELF" part one! The writing team of Tomasi and Gleason are joined by co-writer Keith Champagne in a story that returns to their Green Lantern roots and asks the question "What scares Superman?"

Missing children lead to a cosmic threat that could tear the Man of Steel apart. A smart story that goes galactic accompanied by finely detailed visuals. This title continues to be worthy of the adjective super. Recommended! Read Full Review

Superman #29 hits all the right notes and delivers an enjoyable issue of Superman vs Parallax. I'm really eager to see how this story pans out, especially a Parallax possessed Superman! Read Full Review

Superman #29 is a bit of a slow burn which builds up towards a nice cliffhanger for the next issue. Seeing the Man of Steel deal with Parallax was a lot of fun and combined with the wonderful Doug Mahnke artwork made for a thoroughly enjoyable issue. Nine out of ten lanterns. Read Full Review

Keith Champagne comes on to the book seamlessly, showing a compassionate and earnest Superman just trying as hard as he can to get some children home. Compile that with a creepy and intriguing plot involving one of the most powerful entities of the the DCU, and we've got ourselves the balance of heart and spectacle that Superman is best at.

Superman continues to be a very strong book in the Rebirth line, together with Batman, and shout out to Metal, Snyder and Capullo are back, so for a trinity of books to purchase this week from DC, I would go with those three! Read Full Review

A suspenseful and exciting issue of a fine series. Even though Tomasi and Gleason have taken a break from the writing chores, Keith Champagne does a fine job of keeping up the high standard they have set for one of DC's best titles. Read Full Review

Champagne's characterization of Superman hits all the right notes based on what Tomasi and Gleason have given us over the past year, but from an artistic standpoint, Superman #29 doesn't soar quite as high as past issues that have featured Doug Mahnke on pencils. Read Full Review

Should Superman be a Yellow Lantern? Nah. Should his body be a receptacle for a fear demon (even if willingly offered)? Probably not. Was this a good little superhero story? Sure. Was the art great? Definitely. Besides, I think I am going to like seeing Superman and Sinestro team-up. What a DCCP that would have made. Read Full Review

While the art in this issue is great, I have to say that the story was pretty thin to get us to our pretty sweet cliffhanger. Yeah, we don't know why anything in this arc is going on yet in this issue and it throws a Superman power at you that doesn't really make sense and comes off a bit silly, but the cliffhanger has my interest peaked and like I said, the art was great in this issue.

Cover - I love this cover. For once I choose to not take the variant ... 2/2
Writing - A little Dark. But a great story about fear. A story on who we can overpower fear sometime, and other time never hesitate to sacrifice ourself for other. I'm just a little surprise that was jimmy who connect the dots. I have to confess a little fear to see Paralax taking Jon. Another possessing for Superboy. But no, the Writters are more cunning than that. 2/3
Arts - Their was no flows on the art. I liked every minute of this story. And what a cliffhanger. I want the next one now ^^ 3/3
Feeling - A great superman story. A great Parallax story. For now I just regret to not knowing how Parralax have come to Earth. But maybe later. Or maybe it's not important. 2/2more

What bumps up the rating more is how markedly improved it read finally after a very wanting run of issues. Plus, it's interesting to see the Rebirt status of Parallax and neat to see Sinestro be involved in this sitch and title.

Compared to the previous story arcs in Superman Rebirth, this one underperformed. At least out of the gate. There's promise here, but the plot seems random. Hopefully part two will give us a more clearer picture on the story direction.
